Bloodsucking Freaks

In New York’s Soho district, the master of ceremonies Sardu runs the Theater of the Macabre, which specializes in acts where people are tortured and dismembered. The audiences dismiss it as fakery but the gore is real. Behind the scenes, Sardu and his dwarf assistant Ralphus torture and mutilate women for their own pleasure, as well as sell girls they have abducted into slavery. When the critic Creasy Silo contemptuously dismisses the show, Sardu has him abducted and tortured. At the same time, Sardu also abducts the ballerina Natasha Di Natalie and determines to break her will in order to make her agree to perform in his new show.

Even the humor wears thin after a while. I don't care if Groucho Marx himself is serving as the Grand Inquisitor, there are only so many tortures, so many brain-suckings, so many acts of necrophilia and random acts of violence against genitalia before the whole thing gets tiresome.
